Job analysts are typically industrial/organizational psychologists or human resource officers who have been trained by, and are acting under the supervision of an industrial/organizational psychologist. There are several ways to conduct a job analysis, including: interviews with incumbents and supervisors, work sampling, the repertory grid technique, questionnaires (structured, open-ended, or both), observation, critical incident investigations, hierarchical task analysis, and gathering background information such as duty statements or classification specifications. In job analyses conducted by HR professionals, it is common to use more than one of these methods.
Generally, there are two perspectives in which job analyses are conducted: task-oriented or worker-oriented.

Famous quotes containing the word procedures:
“Young children learn in a different manner from that of older children and adults, yet we can teach them many things if we adapt our materials and mode of instruction to their level of ability. But we miseducate young children when we assume that their learning abilities are comparable to those of older children and that they can be taught with materials and with the same instructional procedures appropriate to school-age children.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
